Disconnecting from a Host
Perform the following steps to disconnect from a host:
1. In the SANblade Manager main window HBA tree, select the host (or adapter,
device, or LUN connected to the host) that you want to disconnect.
2. Do one of the following:
❑ On the Host menu, select Disconnect.
❑ Right-click the host in the HBA tree. From the pop-up menu, select
Disconnect.
❑ Press DELETE.
When the host is disconnected, it no longer displays in the HBA tree. If you are
using the auto-connect feature, the host does not auto connect. If you want to
reconnect to a disconnected host, do so manually (see section 7.1.1).

Configuring Fibre Channel Devices
Perform the following steps to configure Fibre Channel devices:
1. Do one of the following from the SANblade Manager main window:
❑ In the HBA tree, select the host (or adapter, device, or LUN connected to
the host). Click the Configure button on the toolbar.
❑ Right-click the host, adapter, device, or LUN in the HBA tree. From the
pop-up menu, select Configure.
If SANblade Manager detects an invalid configuration, the detected invalid
device and LUN configuration message displays. Click OK; auto configure runs
automatically.
Invalid configurations include:
❑ A device with contradictory visible paths. Only one path can be visible at a
time.
❑ A LUN with contradictory enabled paths. A configuration is valid when all
paths are enabled or disabled.
❑ There is more than one preferred path in the system. Only one path can be
preferred at a time.
❑ There are non-SPIFFI compliant devices that have been separated based
on the device port name. (SPIFFI stands for specification for
platform-independent failover and failback integration.)
